Description

Surrounded by mountains, valleys, and forests, Ashliegh, England is a picturesque village, and seemingly the perfect place to live. However, still mourning the death of her father and navigating the sometimes-suffocating love of her mother, Amy Neville longs for a change of scenery. After being encouraged and supported by a family friend, Mrs. Elrington, Amy is finally given an opportunity to grow when she is offered a governess position for a family in another village. When she is finally able to convince her mother to allow her to move away, Amy is excited and nervous to start her journey into her professional life. However, the Linchmore family is hardly inclined to make anything easier for her. Tasked with caring for and educating children that want nothing to do with her, Amy struggles to be a positive influence in the children's life. Meanwhile, Amy must attempt to keep the peace between she and Mrs. Linchmore after getting caught in the middle of drama nearly a decade in the making between Mrs. Linchmore and Mrs. Elrington. First published in 1865, It May Be True by Mrs. Henry Wood is an obscure and sentimental work of historical fiction filled with secret and drama. Featuring stunning detail of characters, customs, and settings, Wood portrays an intimate perspective of the culture and social norms of the class division in 19th century England. This edition of It May Be True by Mrs. Henry Wood now features a striking new cover design and is printed in a font that is both modern and readable. With these accommodations, this edition of It May Be True crafts an accessible and pleasant reading experience for modern audiences while restoring the original sentiment and drama of Mrs. Henry Wood's work.
